Dinner with Paulina and Gato

Late Monday night, we had dinner with Cousin Paulina and her friend, Gato. We met Gato in December when he came to Hawaii for vacation, Paulina put him in touch with Susie and he stayed with them in Hawaii Kai. You may have seen pictures of us on Facebook with Gato, we introduced him to Patron in December and had a few really fun get-togethers while he was in Hawaii.

Gato took us to an excellent steak house, Don Carlo, in La Providencia. It's like Chile's version of Ruth's Chris but I'd say it was ten times better! There are various types of carne (meat) you can choose, grilled to perfection! I had the center cut ribeye and it may have been just about the best steak I've had in a restaurant. Rod ordered the prime rib and he thought it was excellent. For appetizers, we had fresh abalone and the cutest little baby empanadas that were so good.

We had another great time, Paulina is so beautiful and so kind. I'm glad we had the chance to get to know her and see Gato again . . .good times!
